The Model Y is Tesla's best selling car and has been for a while
- triceratops 2y agoTesla combines Model 3 and Model Y sales when they report results, so we don't actually know that. According to estimates*, and my own eyes, more Model 3s are sold than Model Ys. * 2021 is the last year for which Wikipedia has estimates for both vehicles. The Model 3 sold over 1m, the Model Y around 400k. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Model_Y#Sales https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Model_Y#Sales https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Model_3 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Model_3

From Jose Pontes' article where the Wikipedia Y estimates came from, there were 530k 3s sold and 1.2M Ys sold https://cleantechnica.com/2024/02/05/world-ev-sales-report-tesla-model-y-is-the-best-selling-model-in-the-world/ https://cleantechnica.com/2024/02/05/world-ev-sales-report-t...
